Use on your lips and face, and cover any body part that's exposed, like fingers, hands, feet, and necks. The more you apply, the more protection you’ll have.

Unlike conventional, synthetic, chemical-based sunscreens, mineral sunscreens start working the second that you apply them to the skin. Don’t forget to keep the packaging dry since it’s biodegradable.

Pro tip: rubbing it in helps the sunscreen become less opaque!

Always rely on common sense when in the sun, and use clothing and hats as your primary form of solar protection. Respect your personal exposure limits.

Sick, works great, doesn't migrate

This stuff is kinda funny, it sort of smells like a candle my grandma would have. Not in a bad way though, it mostly smells like cinnamon.

I bought this since I used to use Sun Bum but it kept migrating into my eyes and irritating them, and it just didn't cut it for long sessions. This stuff is so thick you almost need a butter knife to get it out, which is epic because it means it doesn't move around when I'm taking 30 wave sets to the dome at Ocean Beach.

Only bummer is that the packaging is paper-based which means that I can't throw it in my surf bucket with my wetsuit, boots, and wax since it would turn into wet cardboard mush after a couple of sessions. I might shove it in an old ibuprofen canister or something in the future, but it's totally worth it.

Super stoked I stumbled upon this stuff! CHeeeeeeeeee

A MUST FOR OCEAN LIFEGUARDS!

I was recommended this product by one of my coworkers and could not be happier. I used countless other sunscreens and none compare to this one. When working I’m often doing a lot of preventatives and always come home with a burnt face, but since using Avasol I have not burned once. It works well, smells amazing, and my skin doesn’t feel like it’s been in the sun even after a whole day of sun exposure. It does come off on clothing but comes out super easy with a bit of detergent. I would recommend getting a darker shade than you think. I went for the tan shade and it’s perfect. It rubs in nicely, doesn’t run into your eyes when in the ocean, and looks like makeup. Thank you Avasol for this amazing natural reef friendly option!
